Ability to get the device name

[sagrawal31]

Feature Request

I think this is a very important piece of information this plugin can offer. For example, writing device.name can give me- Shashank's iPhone or My Samsung J6.

Motivation Behind Feature

Only one motivation- Avoid installing one more plugin.

There is one plugin already available https://github.com/becvert/cordova-plugin-device-name which does the job but since this official Cordova plugin is already giving device information so why not include name.

I have seen many developers finding the name in this official Cordova plugin.

Feature Description

Get the device's name from the APIs as implemented here-

• Android- https://github.com/becvert/cordova-plugin-device-name/blob/1.3.5/src/android/net/becvert/cordova/DeviceName.java#L32-L50
• iOS- https://github.com/becvert/cordova-plugin-device-name/blob/1.3.5/src/ios/CDVDeviceName.m#L11-L15

Hi, @nfmobile I can do it for Android but I have limited knowledge of iOS. I'll create a PR.

Closing as won’t do, since iOS 16 it’s a sensitive piece of information and the native API no longer returns the value unless you request a special entitlement and Apple approves it if they consider it’s appropriate for your app.
